I juts acquired a 050 dist - pn in topic description.

I am installing a single progressive carb on my 1.8 to simplify things - primarily so I can get moving on my second 914 which wll get a subaru engine - but I can't start that project until I can drive my main 914 out of my garage space to work on my conversion project.

Anyway - will an 050 distributor be any better than the stock 1.8 distributor?

Better? I dunno, but I wouldn't think the advance curve would be as good. But I don't have the specs to back that up. IMHO I would use the stock 1.8 unit.

My car has the single progressive carb and a 1.8L distributor. Works as good as can be expected for the single carb (it is very sensitive to ambient temperatures). The vacuum advance is fine with the progressive.

thanks guys - similar views as I have received before - juts figured that the 009 and 050 without vaccum advance were made for a reason - either way - I will use stock 1.8 dist : )

I've heard that there is more than one version of the 050 - does yours have vaccum advance ??

But I only see one 050 on the pelican website ...

050s are no longer available....of the two, the stock 1.8 is better.....

050 is sought after by the 356 crowd. The 009 is mostly made in Brazil and was originally designed for the staitionary industrial motor. Not the best advance curve.

No it's not. It has 050 in the part number, but it's not the same part nnumber. Look at the entire part number for a "050" and a stock 1.8 dizzy (the one with 050 in the part number) and you'll see that they're not the same part number.

All Bosch dizzy numbers start with 0 (0 XXX XXX XXX) with the exception of "aftermarket Non-OEM" which will start with a 9. The 9 indicates it was never fitted to an OEM automobile application and therefore is an "aftermarket" item.
